What's Included

Why NOLA drywall takes more skill

Old New Orleans homes have walls that shift with the seasons. Shotgun houses, Creole cottages, and pre-war duplexes were built with lath-and-plaster, then skim-coated with drywall decades later. Hitting a nail in the wrong spot can crack 3 feet of wall. Cooking grease, humidity, and hurricane pressure changes all leave their mark. We work with what's actually behind your wall — not the generic techniques that work in suburban Houston tract homes.

Straight Answers.

How long does drywall patching take?

Small patches (nail holes, doorknob dents) take 1-2 hours including cleanup. Medium patches (4-12 inch holes) need 2-3 hours plus 24 hours for compound to fully cure before paint. Large patches are usually completed in a single visit but may need a follow-up for final paint matching.

Can you match the texture on my walls?

Yes. Most NOLA homes have knockdown, orange peel, or smooth-skim textures. We match all three. Bring us a sample photo and we'll tell you before we start if there's any texture we can't match.

Do I need to supply paint?

Yes — we ask you to supply paint so the color matches your existing walls exactly. If you don't have the leftover can, we can color-match at Sherwin Williams with a sample chip. Factor in $40-80 for paint on your end.

What about water damage behind drywall?

If we find soft drywall, mold, or staining from active leaks, we stop and show you photos. The leak source needs fixing first (roof, plumbing, window) before we replace the drywall. We'll give you an honest scope of work.

Can you repair ceilings?

Yes. Ceiling patches are trickier because of gravity and sightlines, so they cost slightly more than wall patches. Popcorn ceiling removal is also a specialty — we test-scrape first to confirm it's non-asbestos before quoting the full job.
